Rooting Huawei Honor 6C Pro

After searching the whole Internet for 2 days, getting piece of info here and there, this is how I was able to root my Huawei Honor 6C Pro (JMM-L22) successfully:

  1. Enable Android developer options
  2. Enable USB debugging and OEM unlock from Android developer options
  3. From a computer, download Honor 6C Pro stock firmware at http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=97622&version=410780&siteCode=ru
  4. From a computer, download Huawei Update Extractor at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
  5. Start Huawei Update Extractor and open dload/UPDATE.APP from stock firmware
  6. Right-click BOOT.img and extract it to disk
  7. Transfer BOOT.img to phone storage
  8. From phone, download and install MagiskManager APK at https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
  9. Launch MagiskManager, click install, click Patch Boot Image File and select transfered BOOT.img
  10. Extract patched boot image (e.g. patched_boot.img) to computer
  11. Create a Huawei account at https://hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/userRegister/regbyemail.html?reqClientType=2023&loginChannel=22000000&countryCode=hk&loginUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fhwid5.vmall.com%2FCAS%2Fportal%2Flogin.html
  12. Get your device bootloader unlock code at http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail. As of May 14th, the page is offline. People report being able to get their code asking Huawei Customer Support on Twitter.
  13. Install Android adb and fastboot utilities
  14. Make sure phone is plugged to computer, open a command prompt (e.g. cmd.exe) and type:
    adb reboot bootloader
    
  15. Phone will reboot. When phone reaches bootloader screen, type in command prompt:
    fastboot oem unlock YOUR_HUAWEI_UNLOCK_CODE
    
  16. Phone now reboots and perform a factory reset
  17. After reset, enable again Android developer options and USB debugging
  18. Open a command prompt and reboot again on bootloader:
    adb reboot bootloader
    
  19. Phone will reboot. When phone reaches bootloader screen, type in command prompt:
    fastboot flash boot path/to/your/computer/patched_boot.img
    fastboot reboot
    
  20. Congratz, phone is now rooted. MagiskManager app should state Magisk is installed and Root Checker will confirm it.
